Profile

Research Description

Research focuses on cognition, and mental health. 

Previous research has included that at the Institute of Cancer Research: Royal Cancer Hospital, which led to the development of mathematical models of the natural history of colon and rectal adenocarcinoma and their use to predict the effect of different screening strategies. She obtained a PhD degree from the ICR in 1998.

Research publications have included those on the epidemiology of Epstein-Barr virus-associated Hodgkin's disease, and health impact assessment including the use of mathematical models, and the use of evidence in health impact assessment. She has also published work on diabetes.

Currently, involved in projects utilising data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), Health Survey for England (HSE), and PRO-AGE (PRevention in Older people - Assessment in GEneralists' practices).
